It's going to be too heavy, isn't it?

I may have to hollow out parts with my Dremel after I get a good cast. Ahhh...one more thing to worry about.

I'm more concerned about phase two: When I try to cast it in pewter.

Because I've never done *any* casting before.

But I watched a bunch of YouTube videos. I think I can do this.

One step at a time though, sculpt first.

Though there is an argument to be made that the '90s ended with 9/11, and the 2000s started the next day.

For me:
'80s = my childhood up until just before I moved, so '79-'91.

'90s = last 2 years of Junior High/High School/College, '92-'02.

2000s = Post-college until I moved to Wyoming, '02-'13.

2010s = from 2013 through 2019. AKA "like last year"

2020s = everything Covid & after. Not a fan so far.

Hopefully, since they're going to all the trouble to remaster the original 1977 version, they can release it on 4K Blu-Ray, and then I won't have to rely on that...nothing. I don't have anything.😬

I love this show!! We got to watch a few episodes in one of my college classes for some reason. That was 20+ years ago. I can't remember which class...but I remember the show!

If Santa survives, Trump will deport him to some random hostile country.

Unless Santa agrees to sell the US government a 40% stake in his toy business and license his flying tech to Elon Musk, in which case Trump will pardon Santa instead.

Oh, he was just giving away toys? For *free*?

And what about TARIFFS? We need to fund fake-gold-covered ballrooms!

And he was coming from a workshop covered in "white powder."

Hmm...maybe I'll go with "The Starlight Wish"?

I'm now having trouble thinking of any kind of exploration-themed name that doesn't fit the theme of some kind of "Trek" and this is going to bother me to an unreasonable degree. 😂

If anyone *wants* a play on "Star Trek" the phrase "Dawn Treader" is kind of that? "Dawn" from a star and "Tread" is like to walk, could stretch it to a trek?

The phrase also has ties to the "Caspian" name from the Narnia books.

Ooh...pinning this thread for later reference because I started looking for this exact thing a couple weeks ago & have no idea what's good or not. Similar situation, rural location and power goes out too often. It's not like there's a power plant adjacent to my town...no wait.

P.S.: What a stupid project name.

My second choice was:
YEAH, I'M JUST A TEENAGE DIRTBAG, BABY
LISTEN TO IRON MAIDEN, BABY, WITH ME, OOH
